No wonder none of her stepkids want anything to do with her. It’s not about being trans, it’s about being such a petty little person that she’d use her memoir to smear a dead man while simultaneously making it all about how jealous said dead man supposedly was of Bruce Jenner.

Holocaust centers.

I don’t think he did it on purpose.

1. April Ryan needs a raise. I don’t know what they are paying her, but it isn’t enough to put up with this BS.

HE RAISED HIS VOICE!

Right? I’m a doctor. I’m the only specialist of my kind at my hospital. If I don’t show up, 40-50 cancer patients don’t get treated. No joke. I would have panicked if they told me I wasn’t getting home for my shift.

Remember, being “disruptive and belligerent” is a crime punishable by beating in our police-state.

The comments over on Gizmodo are depressing AF. To paraphrase, the elderly doctor deserved it, should not have raised his voice, should have just used his “cell phone to re-book patients from his hotel room,” and that this whole incident has been entirely blown out of proportion.

If they really did run an algorithm to come up with 4 randomly selected people and this guy, an actual fucking doctor, said I have patients to see then United could have run it again and gotten someone with relatively less obligations back home to get off the flight. I’ve never flown United but it’s stories like this…

i saw the picture of the little kids holding hands and immediately teared up. why. how. why.

Every current news story (including the NYT and WaPo) has to give the obligatory preface “whatever you think of her father, she’s a savvy, intelligent woman with a flair for business”, which is absolute, unabashed bullshit. She’s dumb dumb dumb. If she’d been born into a working class family in Wichita or Des Moines…

YES. In 2008, the company I worked for wasn’t doing well so the owner decided to take everyone’s salary down by 20%. That amount to him meant he had to cut cable. That amount to me meant I had to give up my apartment. But since we all lost 20% of our salary it was “fair”.

That made me feel sorry for her, too. When I was growing up I went to school with several kids from quite wealthy families. One girl’s father was the CEO of a major corporation. Her parents were getting divorced and their daughter’s boyfriend found out, and he told a bunch of our classmates, one of whom had a…

I love Buffet. He was asked once why he wasn’t leaving his children more money (in his will) and his response was along the lines of; leave your children enough money to do something with their lives, but not enough that they can afford to do nothing with their lives.

Shrug. Rich kids are like that. I’ve no doubt Chelsea Clinton, who grew up as the First Daughter of Arkansas and later the US, could tell similar stories.

I agree that Ivanka is as bad as her father, but the story about her finding out about her parents’ divorce from the newspaper has always made me feel bad, for two reasons.

That’s an apt comparison

I was bothered by the fact that he could be so ignorant. And that there are people out there who could say such a blanketed thing and just be so downright stupid, and just not use the brain that they have.

She will never become aware and not because she doesn’t want to, but because she is unable to do so, because she lives in a cloud and doesn’t want to come down to Earth. Even if she will loose all of her money, she will never be poor nor aware of regular people.
